• Another shooting by federal agents occurred in Minneapolis, raising alarm among officials and residents.
• Governor Tim Walz demands an end to federal immigration operations following this incident.
• The shooting comes weeks after the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen, Renee Good, by ICE agents.
• Protests have surged in response to federal actions, with calls for accountability.

Governor Tim Walz confirmed on January 24 that federal agents shot another individual in Minneapolis amid ongoing immigration enforcement efforts. This latest incident follows the recent controversial shooting of Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents just weeks prior. Walz emphasized the need for immediate action, calling it “sickening” and urging President Trump to “pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota” according to Reuters.

The incident unfolded in the area near Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street, where federal officers reportedly surrounded a man who was armed with a firearm. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed he possessed two magazines, creating a volatile atmosphere that soon devolved into protest. Minnesota authorities stated they were investigating the shooting and urged nearby residents to remain calm. It was noted that the man was shot multiple times before being pronounced dead, echoing the violent tensions in the area since Good’s death on January 7 according to The Hill and Los Angeles Times.

Local officials and community members have expressed escalating frustration with federal immigration policies following the violence, with protests and calls for accountability intensifying. Walz's public criticisms have included demands for nationwide changes in federal strategy towards immigration enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security has maintained that agents acted in self-defense during the incident, prompting further debate about accountability for federal actions in local communities according to South China Morning Post and Channel News Asia.
